Halloween Craft Night

Considering I love Halloween and I love crafts, Halloween craft night has become one of my favorite nights of fall!  Tara, Nathan, Alex, Johnny and I have been getting together to make Halloween goodies for 4 years now and I hope the tradition continues for years to come.  Johnny doesn't always participate in the pumpkin painting and craft making but he does partake in the festive beer drinking, chili eating and Halloween movie watching:) This year we painted pumpkins, masks, witch hats and Tara and I carved fake pumpkins.

 Burli decided to dress up for the occasion..

 Made some new friends...

Here are my finished products...

Happy Crafting!

Spring Burlap Wreath Ideas..

I made my mom and grandma burlap wreaths for Mother's Day and I had some leftover supplies so I decided to make myself a couple:)
You will need:
Burlap Ribbon
Scissors
Pins or hot glue gun
Straw wreath form

 

For this one: simply wrap the ribbon around the wreath form and pin at the beginning and at the end.
Make your bow and pin or glue on! It is that easy!

 

 If you do not have enough of one color to wrap the wreath you can use scraps..

Of course it is always nice to have a helper..

Here are the wreaths I made for Mother's Day..

There are lots and lots of tutorials on these types of wreaths available on Pinterest!
Happy Friday!

Ghosty Garland

These cute little ghosts are super easy to make and fun for adults and kids:)
All you need is
-white and black felt
-scissors
-fabric glue or low temp hot glue
-sewing machine
-white thread

First decide what size ghost you want and how many you will need to decorate the space you have chosen for them.  Cut out ghost bodies and then cut out their eyes, mouths, bowties, mustaches etc!  The best part about making your own decorations is that you can make them anyway you'd like! Make a little family with a mommy, daddy and babies if you'd like! After you have everything cut out glue the little pieces to the bodies.
Once all your ghosts are assembled just run them through the sewing machine...one right after the next.  Make sure to leave extra thread on the ends to hang them.

Hang and enjoy!

Happy Stitching!
